I would be cautious with cotton materials. If there is any humidity present in the storage area where any weapons are stored. Cotton will hold moisture and may damage any ferrous items. Bore Stores are a treated synthetic material. (Polyester) I believe, and will not hold any moisture. I believe...

Clean with saddle soap, let slowly dry and apply a coat of Renaissance Wax. That's what I would do.

Use only a very small amount of wax. Too much and you could get streaks of excess wax. A little goes a long ways.

I thought the topic of this thread was G-96.

I like a less aggressive approach. A dab of Mineral Oil and polish a soft cotton cloth.

I have used G-96 for years and I really like it. The one issue I have with it is it is very expensive. I use it mainly to clean bores and charge holes. It leaves them so clean they sparkle and glow. For routine wipe down on the exterior surface I use a soft flannel cloth treated with Mineral...

I rather like the look of aged Nickel. It's a natural process seen on vintage revolvers. It's an honest appearance. It could decrease resale value.

A good question. Two factors come to mind. The weight and the size. If you are planning to carry your revolver extended periods of time your choice of holster is very important. I believe a pancake style is your best alternative. A pancake style holster distributes the weight over a larger area...

Personally, I wouldn't do anything. I would use it and care for it. You have a very nice revolver. Over time the brightness will diminish. Don't force, it will develope it's own character. Natural is always better, than a forced finish. The value of your revolver will be diminished if you try to...

Bore Stores, is not accepting new orders at this time. It is a small family run operation. They have been overwhelmed with orders and are doing the best they can to catch up. They should be accepting new orders when current orders are fulfilled. These are good honest Americans and are doing the...

Ebay, $17.00.

2-piece, for me. I want to be able to easily remove the SA grips after shooting. It's hot here and my hands can generate considerable persperation. The salts and acids that get trapped under the grips and grip frame can start corrosion in several hours. This has happened to me. I have a big...

Personally I'm boycotting Chinese products as much as possible. I will happily pay more for American made products.

Pardon me, but I don't believe NY Oil is derived from "fish guts". My understanding is that it is a very highly refined mineral oil. And was formulated as a replacement for whale oil. It has a very low viscosity hence it penetrates carbon, residue and grime in general. A very nontoxic cleaner...

It's close to the cylinder gap. I wonder if hot gases and abrasion from unburned powder could have started this flaking of the Nichol?
